Hi All,
I'm new, and excited, to get started with my first HO layout. I really like the design of the Atlas "The Way Freight Special" Code 83 Layout package: https://shop.atlasrr.com/p-44186-ho-1-the-way-freight-special-code-83.aspx
However, the kit specifications state the layout includes 15" radius track, which sounds like a no-no for most locomotives and rolling stock. Would anyone be willing to offer tips on converting this layout to utilize only 18" radius track? I understand the layout may have to grow in size a bit to accommodate the softer turns, but I'm hoping to contain the size of may table to roughly 4' x 6'.
Thanks!
